        "summary": "Elon Musk stands to gain a massive compensation package from SpaceX, including 200 million restricted shares, if he successfully sends one million people to live permanently on Mars and boosts the company's valuation to $7.5 trillion. Additional shares could be awarded for developing a space-based data centre with 100 terawatts of computing power, equivalent to 100,000 nuclear reactors operating at full capacity. This ambitious incentive structure, revealed in SEC filings, underscores SpaceX's plans for a historic IPO in 2026 that could surpass previous records and kick off a wave of mega IPOs in the tech sector.",
        "content": "<p>Elon Musk\u2019s wealth could grow substantially. The individual with a\nnet worth of $815.6 billion (approximately Rp 14,173 trillion) according\nto Forbes is promised a significant bonus if he realises the initiative\nto establish a human civilisation on Mars.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX\u2019s board of directors, the company owned by Musk, has promised\ncompensation in the form of 200 million restricted shares to Musk, but\nonly if he manages to send one million humans to live permanently on the\nplanet Mars.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, Musk must also increase SpaceX\u2019s valuation to $7.5\ntrillion or equivalent to Rp 130,237 trillion. This figure is far beyond\nthe valuation target for SpaceX\u2019s initial public offering (IPO) in the\nfuture.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the 200 million restricted shares, Musk could\npotentially receive another 60.4 million restricted shares if SpaceX\nsucceeds in operating a space-based data centre with a computing\ncapacity of 100 terawatts.<\/p>\n<p>Gathered from Crypto Briefing, the power required for that is\nequivalent to 100,000 one-gigawatt nuclear reactors operating at full\ncapacity simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>All these fantastically valuable bonus promises can only be obtained\nif Musk successfully meets the conditions of each established\ntarget.<\/p>\n<p>The share awards will also be granted in stages along with the growth\nin SpaceX\u2019s valuation. These compensation promises are not bound by a\nspecific deadline.<\/p>\n<p>This ambitious bonus enticement was revealed in secret documents\nsubmitted by SpaceX to the United States Securities and Exchange\nCommission (SEC), as gathered by KompasTekno from Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>The compensation plan also briefly emerged in public when SpaceX\nsubmitted initial registration documents to US market regulators to\napply for an initial public offering (IPO).<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the IPO, the hoped-for valuation target is touted to be the\nlargest in the history of the global capital market.<\/p>\n<p>That figure even far exceeds the previous IPO record held by Saudi\nArabia\u2019s oil and gas company, Saudi Aramco, with a value of around $29\nbillion (approximately Rp 490 trillion) in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>This IPO is also expected to be the first in a wave of \u201cmega IPOs\u201d\nfrom the technology sector in 2026, followed by AI companies OpenAI and\nAnthropic, which have similar plans.<\/p>",
